Survivor: Marquesas was the fourth installment of the popular United States reality show Survivor. It was filmed in 2001 and aired weekly from February 28 - May 19, 2002 on CBS. It was set on the island of Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas. The two initial tribes were Maraamu and Rotu. They were eventually merged into the Soliantu tribe.
Thirteen episodes were aired, plus a mid-season recap and live interview with Rosie O'Donnell after the finale. The winner, Vecepia Towry, was revealed on May 19, 2002.

A notable, and as yet unrepeated, moment in Survivor history was when the policy on a tie was revealed to have changed for this season. Previously, if a tie could not be broken after a revote, the person with the most past tribal council votes was voted out; if that still did not break the tie, the two people involved in the tie would face off in a sudden-death trivia contest, with the person who answered the least questions correctly losing, and being "voted off". In this season, a vote between the final four was tied between Neleh and Kathy, after some last-minute bartering with Vecepia (the immunity holder) by Kathy. After a consensus was unable to be reached, the three tribe members without immunity were asked to pull rocks out of a sack; two of them were regular-colored rocks, while one of them was purple. The person who pulled the purple rock was "voted out", which happened to be Paschal. This policy sparked controversy amongst fans, and while it was briefly mentioned in subsequent seasons, no vote has resulted in a permanent tie since this incident, so it is unknown where the tie policy stands now.
Two of the contestants, Kathy Vavrick-O' Brien and "Boston Rob" Mariano were selected as contestants on Survivor All Stars. Kathy finished in eighth place, and Mariano was the runner-up, losing to Amber Brkich.
